Title: PCIe 1x to 16x Adapter, where?
Post by: induktor on March 24, 2013, 09:57:29 PM
Hello
I'm pretty sure that this was discussed before but, i have been looking for over an hour with no luck

I wan't to buy several PCIe 1x to 16x cable adapters to be able to connect 5 cards to my mobo (which has only 2 16x and 3 1x PCIe )

any ideas of where can i buy them?, specially someone trustworthy since I need to ship them to south-america.

thank you!
Indkt.

Thank you for replying this, but this riser does not exist in my country, so it's the same difficulty to import the final solution or do what you suggest (unless the price difference is really important :D )

I will keep looking for those threads, so far i found nothing :(
